This research investigates the health condition of hairdressers caused by their occupation and the occupational diseases caused by work environment. The study also analyzes the factors on the causes of occupational diseases and their relationships on prevention of the occupational diseases and management of their health. The most frequent body posture made at work and the posture that causes exhaustion are to stand. To shampoo and to cut are the next most frequent body postures which are made and cause exhaustion. In the study, work environment is found to have relation with skin disease and multiple muscle and bone diseases. Consistent observations to investigate risk factors through systems to administer the health of hairdressers are necessary to ease the work environment. The research is done based on participating hairdressers in the metropolitan areas, so it is difficult to generalize the findings. Further research needs to be taken on subjects in many other areas. Also, other occupational diseases which are not investigated in this research need to be examined through multiple other studies. Moreover, another research should be done based on accurate medical diagnostic reports rather than solely based on medical treatment experience of hairdressers.
